First Annual Fuzz-Off
Coming this week to Pedals And Effects: our first annual “Fuzz Off!” Jonathan Hischke (Broken Bells) and I will go head to head with some of our favorite fuzz pedals and blow some speakers.
Feel free to tell us what your favorite fuzz pedal is in the comments section of this post, and maybe we will get it in the competition. I have never been so excited about a video installment and I am sure Jonathan is going to have a completely different take on fuzz with electric bass.
Sitori sonics bass fuzz.
Hey Juan check the Digitech XBD Bass Driver. It delivers a complete variety of overdriven and distortion tones including an awesome Fuzz who melt the clean channel of any amp!!!

Z.Vex Fuzz Factory, cith all the sounds you can get from it (self-oscillation, hmmmmm)

There is all kinds of new toys coming out all the time, but the early 90s green tank Sovtek Big muff pies are unfuckwithable.
I really like octave fuzzes, What about the Foxx Tone machine? Or the fulltone ultimate octave.
Zvex Mastotron

Can’t wait! Everyone has mentioned some great pedals. I really like the Eau Claire Thunder!

Fuzzrocious Grey Stache and the Heliotropic
Really great suggestions. Keep them coming but I only have so much hard drive!
Hey Juan, check out the Boss Hyper Fuzz!! Been using it for years and its great for cutting through the mix.
Another vote for the Gnomeratron VTF. It would be cool to see some Fuzzrocious stuff too.
Juan you have to try the Black Arts Toneworks Pharaoh Fuzz.. Definatly the best fuzz I have ever used.

Also Idk if you’re a big overdrive fan but if you haven’t checked it out look up the Darkglass b3k overdrive. Troy from Mastodon uses one. Hit up Douglas Castro for one man they are incredibly versatile pedals.

Appart from the moden / boutique / bass dedicated fuzzes everyone mentionend, something I would really like to hear and know, is a AB comparison between the real Muff deal (either the black or green russian) and all the boutique fuzzes that claims to be “true recreations” of the vintage …somethin like a “blind test” to finlaly know if there is a way to replace a vintage one, with a less collector item.
The fuzz war maybe wouldn’t be complete without including a DBA FUZZ WAR :3
It’s actually quite nice on bass.
